Commuter Bikes

Want to mix business with pleasure by combining your commute with your workout? Then a commuter bike may just be for you. Commuter bikes have some unique features that make your journey to work easier, like fenders to protect you from the rain and dirt, and a heavy rack to carry your paniers (bags), clothes, laptop, lunch, and lock. Since security is of special concern when commuting, we recommend using a U-lock along with a coil lock to dissuade would-be thieves. Come see us, as we have everything you need to get you on your way.
